Default What do you have your info Switch Setting set to?

Just curious how you all have your switch settings button set on your steering wheel?

The switch settings function I'm referring is done with the button on the steering wheel. Hit the button, and screen on the speedometer switches right away to whatever info screen you have it set to.

Mine is set to Gear Position.


I figure 99% of drivers know about this but If by chance you don't know (or can't tell wth I'm talking about), here are some pictures.
Also, I'm just assuming that F-Sport models have this same function.

I have my set to tire pressure. It's just something I like to t keep my eye on. If I was losing pressure on a tire i'd rather notice before the low pressure light comes on.

Usually have it on the boost gauge, but I check tire pressures often as well.

I don't have this on my 2018 F-sport but then again the Canadian firmware doesn't have the clock either.

On the F Sport (mine at least), that button (that looks like 3 pieces of paper) will slide the LFA style gauge to the right to reveal the menu.
Mine does not have the "Switch Settings"...it's goes from ECO to Driver Info 1.
However, in the main gauge display I leave it on tire pressure.

Same here on the F-Sport. That button slides the gauge over and you can select multiple different parameters you want displayed on the left side. We can change what is displayed in the normal gauge display with the arrows. I leave gauge in the middle (typical setting) and display the gears.

I have the F Sport, and I use tire pressure. I could just mash the down button a few times, but it's way easier this way. My default info displayed in the gauge is the Range.

I only have my 2016 F Sport two days. I have this on miles left in the gas tank. Can't recall exactly what it's called. I haven't had time to
read up on all the details of the car yet, one of them being how to change the settings of the gauge when it's slid over. I understand it
came from the LFA. If it's just arrows on the steering wheel, I'll check it out. I was under the impression the car had the heated steering wheel.
If it does, where would the button be for it? Looking forward to learning a lot in the forum.

If it had the Heated Steering wheel the button for it would be beside the button for the Heated Driver's Seat...in the trim panel in front the shifter.
Not every trim level has the Heated Steering wheel.

Thanks for the tip. No heated steering wheel. How will I survive in the Bay Area without it?

The Bay Area? I'd say heated steering wheels are nice, but not necessary there. Out here in the Midwest, where we have snow and generally below-freezing temps, it's pretty much a necessity.

No doubt! Sarcasm on my part. I grew up in NY and went to college in Vermont, so I had my share.
